“These sessions are not about me holding you, but about us entering together into the ground of holding — a space where wisdom, softness, compassion and intuition can be remembered as natural components of your own life. My hope is that you leave with more clarity, gentle practices to sustain you, and a deeper sense of connection to the sacred within.”
Erica
The Essence
There are moments in life when the ways that once sustained us begin to crumble.
Our familiar ways of doing and being are no longer available.
Awakening Softness was born as a space for those moments.
​
This is a one-to-one contemplative journey for anyone who feels called to reconnect with the sacred feminine within — the qualities of presence, compassion, receptivity, intuition, and tenderness that live in all of us.
​
Inspired by the living wisdom gathered in Women in Love with the Divine, these sessions offer a space of shared holding, where clarity can begin to arise and a new way of being can quietly take root.
​
The book opens a door. This journey is a space to embody its wisdom in your own life.
Pain may slowly turn into love. What has felt distant or hidden may begin to reveal itself. And the sacred dimension of life may become visible again.
What a session includes
Each session opens a contemplative space where the qualities of the heart — presence, compassion, intuition, and softness — can be explored and embodied.
This is how a typical session unfolds:
​
-
Grounding and Arrival
We begin with a short grounding practice to settle the body and mind into presence.
​
-
A Voice of Wisdom
Each session draws inspiration from the women featured in Women in Love with the Divine. We begin with a passage, image, or theme that opens the space for reflection.
​
-
Contemplative Dialogue
Through gentle conversation, we explore how this wisdom resonates with what is unfolding in your life.
​
-
Guided Meditation
A meditation practice deepens inner listening and allows the teaching to be experienced rather than only understood.
​
-
Compassionate Journaling
You may be invited into reflective writing, where insights, emotions, and inner movements can take form.
​
-
Integration into Daily Life
Together we identify small practices, gestures, or rituals that can accompany you in the days that follow. After each session, you may also receive a guided meditation recording or a simple practice to support your ongoing integration.
​
​
​
.
Awakening Softness can unfold as a cycle of 4, 8, or 12 sessions, each offering a complete arc of exploration and integration.
​
The path is inspired by the living wisdom gathered in Women in Love with the Divine and may move through themes such as:
-
compassion and self-love
-
the power of softness
-
meeting shadow with presence
-
faith and trust
-
silence and inner listening
-
reclaiming the sacred feminine
-
devotion in everyday life​
​
Each journey is shaped around your life, your pace, and what is asking to be met.

Voices from the journey
Each person meets this journey in their own way. These are a few words shared by those who have walked it.
​
“Through Erica’s guidance, I encountered the words and experiences of great women and, through meditation, writing, and dialogue, I rediscovered a part of myself I had set aside — out of habit, defense, or prejudice.
​
Today I feel lighter and more whole. I live with a new attitude: a subtle yet profound shift that has brought light, presence, and new shades to my way of being.
​
This journey has truly been transformative.”
​
-Chiara,32
​
​
“In the frantic rhythm of everyday life, I had lost touch with myself. This journey with Erica helped me find my center again and make space to truly listen inwardly.
​
Through meditations and writing practices, I reconnected with parts of myself that were simply waiting for attention. Erica guides with discretion and deep listening that reaches the heart.
​
You can feel that her work is nourished by the wisdom of the women she encountered in her book. The result is an experience that feels simple, genuine, and quietly transformative.”

​
“Before working with Erica, I was completely new to spiritual and contemplative practice.
In just four sessions, Awakening Softness opened a whole new world for me, both inwardly and outwardly.
​
For the first time, I truly understood the value of meditation and the positive effect it can have on how we think, feel, and move through life.
​
In this journey of awareness, forgiveness, and self-discovery, I could not have wished for a better guide. Erica combines deep experience with a presence that immediately makes you feel at home and reassures you that you are in the right hands.”
